Guide to reading course descriptions
Example
BIOL 701 - (3) (Y)
Cell Physiology
Prerequisite: BIOL 501
Studies cell structure and function, metabolism, membranes
and transport, and cellular specializations.
Explanation of example
BIOL 701–course mnemonic (see glossary) and
number. Variations include GREE 701-702 where two semesters of a course
must be completed to obtain credit toward a degree, or GFPT 703, 704 where credit
may be obtained by taking either semester or both.
(3)–number of credits that will be earned
upon successful completion of the course. Where courses are dually numbered
(701-702 or 703, 704), the number of credits represents the number of credits
for each section of the courses, e.g., three credits for 701 and three credits
for 702.
(Y)–code for frequency with which the course is
offered. Variations are:
|
S
|
offered fall and spring semesters
|
|
Y
|
offered at least once every academic year (fall or spring
semester)
|
|
E
|
offered when the fall semester occurs in an even year
(e.g., 2002-2003)
|
|
O
|
offered when the fall semester occurs in an odd year
(e.g., 2001-2002).
|
|
SI
|
offered upon sufficient student interest
|
|
IR
|
offered irregularly
|
|
SS
|
offered during summer session
|
Cell Physiology–course title
Prerequisite: BIOL 501.–Prerequisites are
courses or conditions that must be successfully completed prior to enrollment
in the course described. Prerequisites separated by a comma indicate a series
of prerequisites, all of which are required. Variations include BIOL 501
or 503 where either course, but not both, must be taken prior to enrollment
in the described course. An exception occurs when or precedes the last
entry in a series, in which case the commas indicate or throughout (e.g.,
BIOL 501, 503, or equivalent). Corequisite means that concurrent
enrollment in the course or courses designated and the course or courses described
is required.

and transport, and cellular specializations–Course description.
